Creative Works of Lancaster will bring its sock puppets back to the stage this December with the return of "A Christmas Carrie," featuring an original script by playwright Erich Goldstein. Performances will take place on Friday, Dec. 15, at 6, 8, and 10 p.m. in the theater at Zoetropolis, 112 N. Water St., Lancaster.

Based on the 1976 film version of "Carrie" - which is rated R - it combines the telekinetic prom queen with the time travel of "A Christmas Carol" and reimagined versions of musical hits. This production is not recommended for children. It is the latest offering in Creative Works of Lancaster's series of sock puppet film parodies, with previous shows including "Sock Puppet Psycho," "The Sockfather," "Silence of the Socks," and "Jaws to the World."

Creative Works utilizes a pay what you decide ticketing model with no fixed ticket prices. Attendees pay what they think the experience was worth after the show. Tickets can be reserved at http://www.creativelancaster.org. Tickets may also be available at the door, but reservations are encouraged.
